LigPrep

Overview

LigPrep is a tool to robustly and rapidly prepare high-quality small molecule ligand structures for structure-based virtual screening and other computational workflows. LigPrep works by expanding tautomeric and ionization states, ring conformations, and stereoisomers consistent with the input information to fully capture the relevant states of the molecule in 3D.

Key Capabilities

Check mark icon
Easily translate molecular structures from 1D, 2D to 3D while carefully enumerating structural and chemical possibilities to ensure the accuracy of subsequent modeling predictions
Check mark icon
Build a completely customized ligand library through automatic elimination of compounds that do not meet user-specified criteria
Check mark icon
Optimize output structures to meet the requirements of the downstream simulation workflows
Check mark icon
Efficiently process an entire database at once at a rate of one ligand per second on a single CPU in calculations that can be distributed across many processors in a cluster
